About Me
Hi, I’m Vicki
I've always been passionate about fitness. I trained right up until the day before my induction with my eldest. The gym for me isn't just about training; it's my therapy, my mental wellbeing, and my outlet.
Then I became a mum, and everything stopped.
For the first six weeks after my eldest was born, I felt enormous pressure. A pressure that I'd put on myself to breastfeed, health visitor appointments every week, to make sure everything was ‘right’ whilst the one thing I relied on was taken away. Yes, I could go for walks but I couldn't train. And whilst everyone kept telling me to "rest and enjoy this time," I was quietly falling apart because I needed movement.
I know how that sounds. I know there's guilt wrapped up in admitting you're desperate to get back to the gym when you "should" just want to be with your baby. I felt it too. But what I learned was that, wanting to train and wanting to be present for your baby aren't competing needs. They can co-exist. Getting back to fitness made me a better mum because it gave me back the mental clarity, strength and sense of self I'd been missing.
But I couldn't get there without sleep. When you're exhausted, motivation doesn't exist. Recovery doesn't happen. You tell yourself you'll start tomorrow, but tomorrow comes and you're still too exhausted to even think about lacing up your trainers. Sleep became my driver. I needed my little girl to sleep as without her sleeping I couldn’t train. .
That's why I became a sleep consultant with this specific focus. I've been exactly where you are: wearing activewear all day but never actually making it to a workout, scrolling through fitness influencers on Instagram whilst feeding at 3am, feeling frustrated that pregnancy changed your body and now exhaustion is stopping you from getting it back. I know what it's like to start resenting your partner because he still gets to do everything he did before, whilst you're stuck in survival mode wondering if you made the right choice becoming a mum.
You did make the right choice. You just need sleep to make everything else possible.
Now I help mums who are just like I was; fitness-loving, determined, motivated women who know that movement is non-negotiable for their mental health but are broken by the sleepless nights. I don't judge you for wanting time away from your baby. I don't tell you to "just be present" or make you feel guilty for prioritising yourself. Instead, I help you create a sleep routine that supports both your baby's needs and your own recovery, strength, and wellbeing.
You deserve to feel strong again—mentally and physically. And it starts with sleep.
How I Can Help
I became a sleep consultant because I understand the physical and mental reality parents face when sleep is broken and energy is non-existent.
I'm different from other sleep consultants because I don't just look at baby sleep charts and wake windows.
I look at you.
When I work with clients, the first thing I ask on my discovery call booking form is about their training goals. What do they want to achieve? What does fitness mean to them? Fixing sleep isn't just about getting your baby to sleep through the night—it's about giving YOU the energy, recovery, and mental space you need to return to the activities that make you feel like yourself.
My approach is gentle and practical because I know you need something that works in real life, not just in theory. We'll create a routine that supports your baby's sleep but also allows you to get your time—whether that's early morning training sessions, park run on Saturdays, hyrox or simply having the energy to follow a home workout without feeling wiped out. Sleep and exercise work together: better sleep means better recovery, and movement supports better sleep. It's a cycle, and we're going to get it working for you.
What my clients appreciate most is that I don't make them choose. You don't have to feel torn between being present for your baby and taking time for yourself. You don't have to worry about being labelled a "bad mum" because you want an hour at the gym. Working with me means someone finally understands that the gym is your therapy, that broken nights are breaking you, and that you need movement to fix your state of mind—not just "rest."
I know you're exhausted. I know your energy levels are affecting your parenting. I know you've reached the point where you realise sleep isn't going to fix itself, and you need to sort this out to build the foundations for everything else. I also know you're willing to put in the work for the end result—you're determined, motivated, and self-aware. You just need guidance and reassurance from someone who doesn't judge you for wanting balance.
Whether you're training for a competition, trying to rebuild strength post-pregnancy, or simply need to move your body for your mental wellbeing, my role is to help you create a sleep plan that supports both you and your baby. No guilt. No pressure to have it all together. Just practical, flexible support that fits your lifestyle and helps you get back to feeling strong, empowered, and like yourself again.
Wanting time for yourself doesn't make you a bad mum. Taking care of your mental wellbeing makes you a better one. There is no judgment or guilt over wanting time to spend on yourself.
Wanting to train and wanting to be with your baby are not competing needs. They can co-exist.
